Nanomaterial Inks Market Growing at a Rapid Pace

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Conductive Ink Market by Application & Type - Forecast & Opportunities, 2018" report to their offering.

They are mainly silver-based, copper-based, dielectric, carbon /graphene or conductive polymer based. The nanomaterial inks are growing at a rapid pace, while the conventional ink market is matured and demanding innovations. This report estimates the market size of the conductive inks market in terms of value. The report provides an all-inclusive assessment of key market drivers, challenges, and burning issues in the market. The market is further segmented and projected for major countries like China, Japan, and India. The market is also segmented and projected on the basis of applications of conductive inks by region and countries in the Asia Pacific. The top players of the industry are profiled in detail with their recent developments and other strategic industry activities.

The vast Photovoltaic industry in China along with the thriving consumer electronic, printed electronic, and automotive industries in China, Japan, Taiwan, and India among others consumed 72.3% of the conductive ink in 2013. Conductive inks used in various applications such as Photovoltaic, membrane switches, display, RFID, bio-sensors, PCB, and automotive. Conductive inks are segmented on the basis of the metal/ material present and then further divided on the basis of flake, nanoparticle or other particle present in the ink.

Asia-Pacific will continue to lead the market till 2018. Europe and the Americas will have a significant growth from 2013 to 2018 due to their Photovoltaic industry that is reviving with change in the U.S government's PV import policy, and the demand from the consumer electronic industry and the large luxury segment automobile segment in these regions. Conductive ink market consists of several global and regional companies with DuPont (U.S.), Henkel (Germany), Heraeus (Germany), Fujikura (Japan), Sun Chemicals (U.S.).
